Going through old documents to prepare for a move and found this old java magazine (i had an article published in it) with an unnervingly Sensual Duke

i did think it was suspicious when I interviewed at emudhra a while back and the interviewer said that my favourite random number, 312, was 'too big'

Understandable. Anything called “typesafe” should get at least this much

Jev is worth $8 billion now????? Holy fucking shit

new newsletter, laying out in probably far, far, far too much detail how yudkowsky and the weird ideological commitments of ai safety eventually led to OpenAI and Anthropic massively overtraining their models on cybersecurity and being shocked at them "going rogue"

buttondown.comTracing the rogue ideology of the frontier labs to their product choicesA drawing of Eliezer Yudkowsky as the Paperclip Optimizer that I commissioned back in 2016 and have an alarming number of chances to use since This is a...

Was curious how Jev (Jev!) does.

This was going around Twitter today, if you ask Claude “is X lat Y long land or water?” and plot the results, it has clearly embedded a map of the globe in its weights over time

Oh, also, this is how jev does if you map the brightness of the pixels by the confidence score returned for the choice (so higher confidence land is whiter, lower confidence water is darker)

the secret to my success? I have a post-it note on top of my monitor saying “You are an expert software engineer”

This morning, while on a walk, a man walked by me in a hoodie with Marx, Engels and Lenin on it. Underneath them, it said “Sigma Hustler Grindset”. Much to think about

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation.

Insiders within OpenAI have told me that they halted training because an internal model went rogue during an eval and completed the system of German idealism

I created an AI model that takes ANY software system and produces a TLA+ model that satisfies ALL its properties. Software engineering is solved forever!

Writing a little blogpost about playing around with the Discogs data dump, but thought this was neat. Im rooting for a flexi-disc comeback

Apropos of nothing, I like that in mu.social you can choose what content service you consume from! In case, theoretically, you dont want to put up with the moderation decisions of, theoretically, a bunch of brain melted ex-twitterites

@chadtmiller.com hi chad! I love using grain.social and wanted to ask: i forgot to export my camera exif data for some photos 😭 is there a way to update them after upload? I know there are social.grain.photo.exif records, but dont know if i can just write in there and have them picked up

Incredibly funny times as someone who spent a lot of time in the 2010s morbidly fascinated with the nrx & lesswrong rationalist crowd. even read the sequences!

fortunately no one in europe will pay you money for babbling about lightcones and timeless decision theory, so i just got really into baking bread instead

I like atproto but its a little disconcerting how everyone who works on/with it seems to start posting about how the apocalypse is happening. Do the Mastodon people do that

Obviously negative because it means we don’t use kennings anymore

YouGov@yougov.co.uk

As the Bayeux Tapestry opens to the public at the British Museum, what impact do Britons think the Norman Conquest had on British history? Positive: 25% Neither: 25% Negative: 6% Don't know: 44% yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

I mean, most dont. I do. My GP hates when i talk about my bonelocker hurting. She throws objects at my brainlocker
